From my Heart

This evening I'm thinking should I write a beautiful poem, but as I contemplated, I thought no, I will share with you from my heart. I'm sure you have all heard of Susan Boyle, the talented international singer that appeared on Britains Got Talent.. and sang the song " I Dreamed a Dream" and has made her dreams come true. Well, it's been a dream of mine to be able to carry on the legacy of my Loved Ones through my business Warm Gestures LLC. From the loss of my mother when I was 20 years old, she passed away on my brother's wedding day. I asked him "How do you get through every anniversary? He said " Mom would want me to be happy" How true I thought!

During the years I've lost 3 daughters, a husband, and my father. I feel blessed to carry on their legacy by touching peoples lives through cemetery care, funeral home care, landscaping, taking care of plants, planting flowers, making grave blankets and shipping them all over the USA., including Arlington National Cemetery.

 

This past year, I received my first international order for a grave blanket from Switzerland . Wow.. I can follow my dreams! To make a difference in the Love and Passion that I have in having my Cemetery care and Landscaping business, it shows that God does work in strange ways.

I want to share with you a true story about a little girl that died from head trauma. I never saw the little girl. I was planting flowers at a funeral home and helping an employee carry a plant in on a dolly. I said you don't have a little one here do you? The gentleman said "the funeral will be on Monday. I said not the little girl that was dead on arrival at the hospital, he said yes. I noticed as I looked in the room, there were no flowers, and I cried. I thought to myself, she has to have flowers.

So when I had finished my work, I went and had a casket spray made for this little girl I had never seen. It turned out beautiful. After all, I knew what shade of pink I wanted since I have lost 3 daughters myself.

So the casket spray ended up being pink and yellow carnations, with baby's breath and a pink teddy bear holding 3 pink sweetheart roses in the hands. I took the spray to the funeral home. A week went by and I wanted to pay my respects to this little girl I had never seen. I shared with the manager about the flowers and with shock and tears he said those were the only flowers she received. The teddy bear was still there too. So I paid my respects and said my prayers and said Thank God, and said to myself, God works in strange ways. Every year since her tragic death, she gets a plant from me on Memorial Day and a Grave Blanket too. From My Garden to Her Garden.

GARDENING TIPS

Hanging baskets should never be allowed to dry out!  Water thoroughly.  If the basket dries out, the soil could shrink, then the water just runs through, leaving you thinking it’s watered.
